00:00For Cincinnati, this is a terrific, unbelievable trade. Dexter Lawrence is a superstar. And when
00:07you look at the pro football focus rankings, 2022 for interior defensive linemen, he was ranked
00:12number one. 2023, ranked number one. 2024, ranked number two. 2025, he was ranked ninth overall in a
00:20down year where he was injured. And he still had a miserable season last year. Ninth best interior
00:26defensive lineman. Dexter Lawrence is better than anyone they can get versus what they could have
00:33picked with that 10th overall selection. So when you have a golden opportunity, if you're Cincy to
00:38get a known, a superstar like Dexter Lawrence in the middle of your defense, it doesn't matter what
00:44the media lead or the Twitter tough guys say about, oh, can't give up the 10th overall pick. Of course
00:48you can. By the way, Cincinnati still has their second round pick, still has their third round pick.
00:54And you have a window for Joe Burrow to win the Super Bowl. You have a window here for Joe
01:00Burrow
01:00when it's all said and done to make sure that he wants to stay in Cincinnati long-term big picture.
01:06And if the Bengals go against their DNA, they are known as fruel, they are known as cheap,
01:11but they've got a reputation of just being the worst. So to me, this is a win-win.
